After an unknown period, they felt themselves loaded into a large vehicle. The bumpy ride continued until the vehicle finally stopped.
The door was opened, and it was pitch dark outside, so dark they could see nothing.
A tall Black man shone a flashlight inside and yelled something they couldn't understand, ordering them to get out of the vehicle.
The flashlight beam waved continuously, indicating it was time for them to disembark.
Over ten people filed out and were herded into a corrugated iron structure.
"Mom, where are we?" a man in his early twenties asked a middle-aged woman.
"I don't know, let's wait and see," the middle-aged woman replied, remaining relatively calm. As the actual controller of the Anran Grand Hotel, she knew she had been ambushed.
She had seen many life-and-death situations and knew how many women had been ruined by her actions.
However, she had never told her son about these things, only wishing that he could live a happy life in a normal world.
Unexpectedly, despite her caution, she had still been ambushed.
The corrugated iron structure was large, with water and food inside. They walked over, picked up the food, and stuffed it into their mouths.
During this time, they had been living and eating in shipping containers, long having lost all sense of shame. The space was so confined that there were no designated private areas. They had to relieve themselves in full view of others.
It was just that when someone needed to, the others would turn their backs.
The pervasive foul odor had long since stripped them, accustomed to luxury, of any temper.
Today, being able to eat their fill of food without restraint, they ate heartily.
They had no idea what tomorrow would bring.
Even if they were to die, they wanted to die with full stomachs.
Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun disembarked the ship with Eliana and were taken to Sun City, a scenic tourist resort.
Sun City in South Africa was a very cost-effective six-star hotel. The rooms were very clean, and the service staff were enthusiastic and friendly, making Guo Xuyang and the others feel at home.
"Mr. Guo, why don't you go up and change your clothes? We can go play on the water slides later," Eliana said after opening the rooms.
She had booked two suites.
One for herself, and one for Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun moved her lips but said nothing.
Guo Xuyang said nothing either.
After all, they were being hosted, and it was inconvenient to raise certain requests.
"We didn't bring clothes for water activities. Do you sell them here?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"Yes, sir," the front desk receptionist replied.
Just then, a beautiful attendant approached. "Sir, please tell me if you need anything."
One had to admit that the service at a six-star hotel was excellent.
The group followed the attendant to the boutique.
This six-star hotel integrated dining, entertainment, and accommodation, resembling a large amusement park.
The group purchased swim trunks, bikinis, slippers, and other items and returned to their rooms.
The room was large, with a walk-in closet, a shower room, a washroom, a toilet, a living room, a floor-to-ceiling window, and a massive round bed.
There was only one bed.
Guo Xuyang was dumbfounded. How were they supposed to share?
He hadn't said anything downstairs, assuming the suite would have at least two beds. Was he supposed to sleep in the living room?
"I'll sleep in the bed," Xiao Yun said assertively.
"I'll sleep in the bed too," Guo Xuyang said, teasing her.
"Impossible. I won't sleep with you. Don't get any funny ideas," Xiao Yun said.
"Didn't you want me to take care of you? Here's your chance today," Guo Xuyang joked.
"No. Why don't you go downstairs and get another room?" Xiao Yun said.
"Alright. Don't regret it. There won't be another opportunity like this," Guo Xuyang said.
"I won't regret it. You go ahead," Xiao Yun said.
With no other choice, Guo Xuyang had to go out and down to get another room.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Eliana, who had changed into a bikini.
"Hi, Mr. Guo. Why haven't you changed yet?" Eliana asked.
"Oh. I'm going down to get another room. There's only one bed in the room," Guo Xuyang said.
"Aren't you and Miss Xiao a couple? How can..." Eliana asked, her face full of questions.
"You're mistaken. Xiao Yun and I are friends," Guo Xuyang said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't ask clearly earlier. How about this? Let Miss Xiao share a room with me, what do you think?" Eliana asked.
"I'll go ask her. I don't know if she'll agree?" Guo Xuyang said.
"Shall I go with you? I'm already changed," Eliana said, turning around.
One had to admit that the business partner Lu Liang had found was indeed fiery. She was curvaceous where she should be, with a particularly ample bosom that made his gaze linger.
He hadn't noticed it when she wore a T-shirt.
A certain part of Guo Xuyang felt a stir.
He quickly averted his gaze to avoid any awkwardness.
"Is it okay for you to share a room with Eliana?" Guo Xuyang asked when he returned to the room.
Seeing Guo Xuyang and Eliana return together, Xiao Yun had no choice but to agree.
In reality, she was still quite resistant.
She felt a bit insecure because Eliana had such a great figure.
She had also changed into a bikini by now and had draped a large bath towel over herself.
If one were to compare their figures, hers and Eliana's were actually comparable.
It was just that Eliana was slightly taller, and with the natural fairness of a white person, her tanned skin was at a disadvantage.
Her measurements were in no way inferior to Eliana's; otherwise, she wouldn't have become Guo Xuyang's goddess.
After Xiao Yun moved her belongings to Eliana's room, Guo Xuyang changed into swimming trunks, beach shorts, beach sandals, and a loose t-shirt. He also grabbed a large bath towel.
The three of them, one man and two women, strolled downstairs. They passed through the lobby and a long corridor, arriving at the outdoor leisure area.
There were water slides, a swimming pool, and a shower area.
"Mr. Guo, shall we go on the slides?" Eliana asked.
"Sure. Let's go, Xiao Yun," Guo Xuyang said, going to get the rubber rafts.
Each person needed one rubber raft, and they had to carry it to the top of the slide to ride down.
"Carry it for me. I can't lift it," Xiao Yun said, with a hint of coquettishness.
Eliana looked at Xiao Yun, then at Guo Xuyang, genuinely unable to understand their relationship.
If you said they were a couple, Guo Xuyang had denied it himself.
If you said they weren't a couple, their conversations and actions were so casual.
She truly couldn't figure it out.
"Alright, stay behind me. Be careful not to slip," Guo Xuyang said, then hoisted both rubber rafts and started walking towards the top of the slide.
The three of them walked up cautiously.
The rubber rafts were not heavy, but the path upwards was a bit narrow. It was difficult for Guo Xuyang to walk up while carrying two rafts by himself.
